Misako Rocks!

Yesterday was “Misako and friends’ opening show” at Eleanor Roosevelt Highschool Manhattan NYC.

These sweet girls framed and display our prints! The show will last until the end of next month. So hopefully more students and their parents can visit there.

The setting of my camera was not right yesterday and I couldn’t fix it.

But next week I’m going back there to give a speech! so I’ll be able to take better photos to upload here-

This month I have more than 10 events to attend and I’m going to Japan in a month!

So I’m trying to draw as many pages as I can right now. My new comic “Made in Japan” is my biography^_^ I’m trying to draw more detailed background, many characters brah brah… It takes forever to draw each panel!

Tomorrow I’m going to attend “Ghibli Day” in Kinokuniya NYC!

I’m going to run a panel from 2:15-3pm to draw Ghibli characters and talk about “comic making”.

Also I’m going to run a Ghibli Drawing workshop and a drawing contest from 1-4pm. Kinokuniya gives a prize for winners! So come and join this event!

Besides this event, I’m going to teach Manga/Comic drawing workshop at Grand Central Teen Library in NYC from March 15th(Monday).

I hope you can join these fun Spring events!

Hi everyone! Kuririn and I walked through Central park on the way to MET!

It’s a KISS in the shadow! Ah— romantic!

Isn’t this crazy?! Looking at this makes me dizzy…. A lot of people were taking photos in front of this mirror.

After visiting MET, we had a great dinner at GOBO and went to see a movie “An Education”

How about your valentine’s day? I hope you had a sweet time with family, lovers, cat, dog, and and…!!

Last week or so Chopsticks NY magazine made an article about me. They gave me two pages-! Yay–

Also a lot of Japanese restaurants, cafes and so on carry this magazines in NY.  And it’s a free magazine.

Last Saturday Kinokuniya store in Manhattan threw a big event for Anime fans and celebrated Woman of the Year 2010 with me!

It turned out a pretty big event..! Thank you very much for coming.

I did a short demonstration.

Rachael Park took great photos!!

Every time I finish my panel, my face is covered with my sweat… Well I get very energetic^_^

I hope we’ll run this kind of events more!!

Last Wed, Kuririn and I went to see Julian Casablancas’ show in NYC which was sold out right away! We’re super excited to see his performance!(I should say I was excited.)

I’ve listened to Strokes and liked their first album. Then JC started doing solo project! His music has 80’s sound and we think he pulled out really really good.

I love his singing voice a lot too! Of course he’s super attractive. So many young girls were screaming(and me too…)

Now I want to see Strokes show–!

Good bye! to 2009. Say “hello!” to 2010!

I wish all of you have a great year!

This’ my favorite place in Central Park.  A lot of movies film here^_^

I hope all of you have great holidays and a new year!!

In 2010 I’ll attend more events at cons, libraries and school.

I bet I’ll see you there–

On Dec 7th, I talked about my comic life in US/background at an Internet Radio show : Gyokai Jiji Hodan

I had a great time and studied a lot about Japanese Manga/Anime business too!

My part will be played on Dec 17th and Dec 24th. So just click the link above and enjoy!!
